The Clerks Office is responsible for processing and scheduling matters which are filed with the
Supreme Court of South Carolina. This includes appeals, petitions for writs of certiorari in
post-conviction relief cases, petitions for writs of certiorari to review decisions of the South
Carolina Court of Appeals, petitions or actions brought in the original jurisdiction, certified
questions, motions, judicial disciplinary matters, and lawyer disciplinary matters to include

The Clerk's Office publishes the South Carolina Advance Sheets that contain the published opinions
and orders of the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, along with notices, rule changes and other
documents of general interest. An electronic version of the Advance Sheets
is available for free at www.sccourts.org/opinions/indexAdv.cfm.

Additionally, the Clerks Office maintains the Supreme Court Library and is responsible for processing
applications to be admitted to practice law in South Carolina. The Library and the Bar Admissions
Office both have separate pages on this website.
